Let's Move Blog Hop

Welcome to Digistamps4Joy's New Beginnings Blog Hop. You have arrived at Charlene's Blog in Chilliwack, B.C. Canada

Digistamps4Joy is having this blog to introduce you to our new blog. You will be starting with our Current Blog (Mel’s blog) and work your
way through all the DT members blogs until you get to our New Blog. Here's a list of all the blogs and order of them in case you get lost.

For
the hop I got to play with a brand new digital image called Toy Train. I have a
friend who’s daughter is pregnant so I decided to make a boy card just in case
she has a boy. You can find the image in our new store here.

Nana
Vic’s is my sponsor for this blog hop, so I combined the new Toy Train image
with her Nana Vic’s Baby Gift Box. I decided that a double easel card was the best kind of fold for these great images.

I colored my images with Prisma Schlar Pencil crayons and oms. I used silver metallic gel pen on the edge of the gift box and on the train. I also used gold metallic gel pen on the stars on the train. The yellow cs is from SU, the Red polka dot dp is from BoBunny and the train paper is Thomas the tank, but it was a piece left in my stash and I don't know who makes it. I didn't add any embellishments as I felt that adorable train was embellishment enough.

Nana
Vic has kindly donated a $12 Gift Voucher as a prize for my blog. You can find all of her incredible images and sentiments here. Thank you so much Vickie for your generous sponsorship, it is very appreciated.

So this now brings us to the rules for the hop. They're very simple and the rules are the same for each blog on the hop:

1) You MUST be a follower of all of the blogs on the hop. There are only 10 (9 DT Members and the New Digistamps4Joy Blog). You do not need to be a member of the Current Blog (Mel's), as it will no longer be active after the hop.

2) Everyone entering MUST leave a comment on each blog (we will be

checking.). I'm not going to give you a question to answer, but you do need to make a comment.

3) Everyone entering MUST be a member of our new CDAC-DS4J Group at http://priscillastyles.ning.com/group/digistamps-for-joy . If you are not a member of CDAC it is free and very easy to join. Just click on this link and it will bring you to the main page. Don't forget to come back to the Digistamps4Joy Group also.

The Blog Hop will run from 6 a.m. CAT (Central African Time) April 25th, 2012 - May 9th, 2012 . I will post my winner here on my blog on May 10th, 2012.

Your next stop is Desire. Thanks for popping by and joining our blog hop. Don't forget to leave a comment.

Hello! I'm a newbie and a friend of Desire who invited me to blog hop. This is awesome and happy to get to know more new friends along the way. Very pretty double easel! Love it! Would love to see you as a follower of my blog =DHugs,Asmah

Hold a sec Charlene, while I get my sunnies...Your card is so bright, fun and totally boyish. I adore the colour combinations that you've put together and the little train is oh so cute. You've displayed both digital images beautifully on your double easel card, and they do work well together. Now I'd better get hopping and check out all the other fabulous places in your 'Blog Hop'. Good Luck to Digistamps4joy and to all that are now running the site. *Big Hugs to All*

About Me

Hello, my name is Charlene. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 26 years and I have 2 children. A boy 25 and a girl 21. I live on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada...better known as the Wet Coast because of the amount of rain that we get.
I first started crafting when my son was in his second year of Beavers. My husband and I became leaders that year with 2 other wonderful people. I found that I had a nack for finding ways of making crafts for the Beavers to do that were cute but inexpesive. I moved on from Beavers into Guiding and followed my daughter through her 2 years of Sparks and Brownies and her first year of Guides. When she left I continued on for a few years. During this time I found that I loved making things by hand for people...so when I was introduced to making cards 3 years ago, I jumped into it enthusiastically. And I have never regretted it. Making cards has given me a creative outlet that not only lets me express myself, but allows me to give something to my family and friends that is truly unique.
